    I think Gary Clark has been an offensive force in comparison, it has come down to this.

    After no meaningful additions in the off-season, there's been nothing we can point to that significantly improved the team from the time the season started. Manimal is a nice pickup but doesn't really move the needle.

    It's very disappointing and it's on the owner and GM. Our moves, or lack there of, show that we are not serious about going all out to win this year.

    We'll sign some guy in late Feb, once we hit that magical date that will allow us to pick someone up without putting Tilman into luxury tax.

    I eagerly await the overhyping of that player followed by the scape-goating of that player.

    I bet Markieff Morris was ready to sign here after he was cleared by doctors to play ball again. Then Morey and Tilman said "Welcome aboard! We will sign you in a few weeks." then he told us to **** off and signed with OKC.

    We need to quickly sign Capella after the All Star break, I think he can really help us.

    Cannot sign anyone until after the all-star break. Or else it will put us back in the luxury tax zone.

    You just might be right.

    Lord, what a mess.

    Imagine that picture of the team in the Bahamas, minus the off-season signings, those who were lost in Hurricane Fertitta: "As of now, a search has been suspended for their replacements."

    Rockets dont need anyone....They will get healthy and sign house.... House will replace Shump on the bench...and all will be good in the Rockets world.

    Rockets will challenge the Warriors for the Crown.

    Come on man. You can't keep lowering your expectations. This is a company worth over two billion dollars being ran like the Pleasure Pier in Galveston.

    It costs $81K each week.
    0.081 million each week.

    It wouldn't be a mistake to sign Morris at this cost. I have been watching Shumpert's defense for 2 years. He is in G League level. It is a good idea to send him to G League?

    Should've never waived him to begin with. But the Rockets, and a few idiot posters here, were too obsessed with making him the scapegoat for early season problems

    Our biggest addition Post-Trade-Deadline is a HEALTHY Clint Capela. Way more important then the other scrubs, Morris.
